"419" Scam – Advance Fee / Fake Lottery Scam

The so-called "419" scam is a type of fraud dominated by criminals from Nigeria and other countries in Africa. Victims of the scam are promised a large amount of money, such as a lottery prize, inheritance, money sitting in some bank account, etc.

Victims never receive this non-existent fortune but are tricked into sending their money to the criminals, who remain anonymous. They hide their real identity and location by using fake names and fake postal addresses as well as communicating via anonymous free email accounts and mobile phones.

Keep in mind that scammers DO NOT use their real names when defrauding people.
The criminals either abuse names of real people or companies or invent names or addresses.
Any real people or companies mentioned below have NO CONNECTION to the scammers!

Dear Brethren,


Greetings to you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.It is my
pleasure to contact you after my satisfactory appraisal and acceptance
of your proven track records.

My Name is Rev.Father Wilson Kampson of the Vatican City priesthood of
the Roman Catholic Church. I got your email address as i was checking
track records in terms of searching of a Godly fellow, who will assist
me to extend the help that i want to render to the poor and needy in
your country.

Due to the nature of faith which i have sworn not to disobey as a
priest and monk in the priesthood, i can not carry the assignment but
needs some of trust and one that will not betray the work.

It pains me to discover that many people are suffering and dying of
Hunger and starvation and family hardships whereas here in the
priesthood, there is so much to eat and enjoy. Therefore,i have
decided to help the poor and
the needy through the pocket of the priesthood, without the knowledge
of the Sect.

I am the financial controller of this sect and i know the amount of
funds in their bank account. I want to use you as a means to extend
this helping hands to the poor masses, by transferring the sum of
($26.00000) twenty Six Million Us Dollars to your country.

My purpose of doing this is that our sect have this lots of money
without using it to the benefit of the wood, needy and the poor which
is the instruction from God as i learn from my bible school.I plan
that we will use this money to build a charity organization in your
country under your care to enhance this stretching our helping hands
to the poor ,needy and widowhood as i am directed in mind to use it
for charity work to help the needy and poor of your Country and your
next neighboring Country.

I would have love to do this myself, but due to the lifestyle of the
priests, which forbids us from relating to the outside world, it
becomes difficult for me. If really Someone of GOD FEARING FIGURE like
you,WHO WILL NOT BETRAY THIS TRUST I'M ABOUT TO REPOSE ON to carry out
this assignment, Please I would like you to assure me that every funds
that enters your hand MUST be used mainly for this humanitarian
purposes.

Please if you are really touched to carry out this assignment, kindly
get back to me via email: (odj2000x@gmail.com) And Provide below of
your information:

I request that you should reconfirm and forward to us as listed
below Via email attachment

license (for Identification purpose)
